Transporation Data Users, The Census Bureau has provided early release of selected workplace based tables for areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Included in this release are the following tables: B08406. Sex of Workers by Means of Transportation for Workplace Geography, 2004 B08526. Means of Transportation to Work by Industry for Workplace Geography, 2004 B08528. Means of Transportation to Work by Class of Worker for Workplace Geography, 2004 B08534. Means of Transportation to Work by Travel Time to Work for Workplace Geography, 2004 These tables are being released for States, Counties, Places, and Metropolitan Statistical Areas for areas of 250,000 or more residents in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. These tabulations are produced to provide estimates of workers at the location of their workplace. Estimates of counts of workers at the workplace may differ from those of other programs because of variations in definitions, coverage, methods of collection, reference periods, and estimation procedures. The ACS is a household survey which provides data that pertains to individuals, families, and households. This data for AL, LA, and MS can be found on the Hurricane Data link off the main Census page at www.census.gov or directly at http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2005/katrina.htm. Currently on the Katrina tab, there is a Transporation Section which contains the Workplace tables. This site will be updated to reflect the damage done by Rita, so check back on the "Rita tab" for more information later. The complete tables can be found on AmericanFactfinder (www.factfinder.census.gov), marking the first time data tabulated at the Workplace Geography is included on American FactFinder. The remainder of the states geography will be released early next year as indicated in the current schedule for 2004 ACS data. Clara Reschovsky US Census Bureau
